About Louise
BACP. 8 years' experience. Louise Lant works as a counsellor in the United Kingdom and focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, family and parenting concerns, and coping with life changes.
Louise trained in counselling in 2017 and has worked across a range of settings since qualifying. Her work is grounded in person-centred therapy, which places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of sessions. She may also use strategies that have their origins in other approaches such as solution-focused methods, compassion-focused ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Louise helps people talk through difficulties such as communication problems, control issues and feelings of isolation. She also supports people facing midlife questions, concerns about life purpose, and women's issues.
Louise describes clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on helping them access their own resources. She pays attention to how someone is feeling and what they think they need, and checks in about whether the work is helpful as therapy continues.
Her approach is straightforward and relational. People can expect a clear focus on the issues they bring, with practical strategies offered when useful. If you are considering counselling, she asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling options
Person-centred therapy is at the heart of her practice. This approach focuses on a respectful, listening relationship where the person sets the pace and direction, which can help with feelings of low self-esteem, anxiety and relationship stress.She also draws on techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches to help spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of coping. Solution-focused strategies are used to identify small, practical steps clients can try between sessions to build momentum and address specific problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Louise will discuss which techniques may help based on a person's goals and preferences and adapt the focus as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process that aims to match methods to what someone wants to achieve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit sessions into a busy week, for example by avoiding travel time, allowing a shorter check-in at a convenient break, or making contact without needing to be on camera for an entire session. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical advantages while working with you to agree a helpful way of meeting.
